We’re celebrating 50 years of innovation! ✨
RATstands has been proudly supporting musicians and the performing arts industry worldwide since 1976, when the original RAT music stand - now known as the Opera Music Stand - was designed for the Welsh National Opera.
Five decades later, our product range includes stands, staging, chairs, lighting, and more — all still engineered and manufactured with the same focus on quality, functionality, and design as when we began.
Throughout 2026, we’ll be celebrating with unmissable giveaways, golden offers, exciting events, exclusive merchandise, and, of course, innovative new products.
Thank you to everyone who has trusted RATstands over the past 50 years.
Here’s to the next chapter.🎼 ✨

Took this out of the box today — the @ratstands Microphone Boom Stand.
First impression: super solid.
The base feels really stable, and the boom moves smoothly without fighting you… which honestly makes a big difference when you’re setting up fast.
It’s one of those pieces you don’t think about much — until you have a good one.
Clean, reliable, and just stays where you put it.
Simple gear, but it makes the whole setup feel better. 🎙️✨ #homestudiolife #musicproducer #musicgear #ratstands #setupinspiration
We’re delighted to partner with @ratstands RATstands. The Universal Tablet Jazz Stand they provide us with is compact, versatile, easy-to-assemble and works perfectly with our iPads.
